Now the Roman camp. Also BUM based, is also largely transformed into what you see.

The defence poles around the camp. The ditch is ...well... around somewhere!

20cmX20cm like the Carthaginian camp.

There is a Zvezda 1/72nd scale fabulous roman camp and the old Airfix one which is also nice. They make a fantastic center piece for a diorama or skirmish action but they are just too big for a battle like Cannae, as it will take too much space on the tabletop, and this one is much cheaper.

The training pole. This place served for gladius hacking training. Probably some slashes were also applyed.

This camp is made out of a BUM box with a lot of generic pieces which were completely changed into what you can see. I coundn´t find any good reconstitution of a carthaginian camp , so this is more of a guess than anything else, based in what i know of carthaginian habits and culture. Hope you enjoy.

The camp is 20cm X20cm. If larger, it dwarves the armies and the battle area on the tabletop.

Some celtiberian (Newline Design 20mm) guarding the entrance, just for scale.

Here is my 4th roman legion for the Punic wars. Once again figures by Hat, Orion; Italeri and Newline Designs. Only 12 legions to go, for the full roman army at Cannae: piece of cake, just a thousand figures!

You can even see the shadow of the camera in the 1st picture. The guy has talent, look at the position of his finger! A true pro.

You all admire my quality as a modeller and painter, that is why you keep on coming to this site everyday, even when you don´t have electricity, but you seldom refer to my talents regarding photography.

Oh yes, there his a guy from Gaia (south of Porto, near Lisbon) who likes my photos a lot, and who always places nice comments on this blog, regarding the right angle and light.

Last ones. Mainly Italeri and Revell. Now Hannibal´s army for Cannae is DBM complete. And now for the "last" 13 Roman legions (i´m completely f******)... well at least some, until I get fed up with them.
